Marathon Training is here!

Today marks the first day of training for Grandma's and it started off pretty easy with a 4 mile run. I guess that is nice since I ran a little over 14 yesterday but I got to say my legs felt just fine. The run went very well, I went out a little too quick but caught it just before mile 1 so I slowed down a bit. I'm happy to see while running sub 7 minute pace my heart rate did not break 170, a definite improvement from a year ago. I also extended the run a mile because 4 just seemed so short, I swear I won't make a trend out of changing the plan as that is a slippery slope! After reviewing the data I found I unknowingly beat my Gaelic Gallop 8K time from last year on a route with similar elevation... it's funny because I remember struggling through that race last year and today I was just having fun on a run with avg HR of I good sign of things to come I think... now to foam roll, rest and get ready for bed. I've got to hit the gym early as it's going to be another busy day at work, I've got a feeling I'll be needing that west 3rd hill climb tomorrow to relieve some stress! :)
